i'm mesmerized
  buy a verbal
          pulling force
drawing somehow sesical
strings into odd associations
that
     might when mean anythin'
and then
    what
    about
meaning isn't
mean enough
with
     out
in?

independent conspiracies
retard the growth of letters
listed inconsequentially
to ellucidate
these moments'
false insight.

not the blood
per se
but that certain glint
within the side
her blue eye flashes
 one single flake of snow
 storing outlines'
 sustainable melting
 structures between
our wandering eyes.
